It was late May. So I planted the remaining of my marjoram seeds outside as a Hail Mary, and after two months of caring and fretting, it's grown strong to the first harvest.
Yay Fediverse! :-)

This year I planted some in a pot on a windowsill, and it successfully germinated. And then died. Twice. Frustrated, I complained on the #Fediverse, and surprisingly a kind soul directed me to a help line of my local library which provides gardening advice. Reader, I couldn't even think such a thing existed!
There I was told that growing marjoram inside was "difficult", which I understood was a euphemism for "don't", but gave me hope I could still try and plant it outside this year. (cont.)

This is marjoram. I used it to make a most perfect pot of shchi. There's a Story behind it, so sit comfortably and listen!
A few years ago marjoram disappeared from all the grocery stores around me. The reason, as I was told, was basically that nobody knew what it's for and it didn't sell. Since apparently it wasn't coming back, I decided to grow my own. It didn't go well. Too much water, too little water, too many slugs, wrong soil... Gardening is not easy. But I persisted. (cont.)

life is extra surreal for french speakers right now because in french, phonetically, “chat gpt” sounds exactly like “cat, i farted” (chat, j’ai pété). everywhere, on TV, in the news, people going “cat, i farted” over and over with a straight face. is cat, i farted going to steal your job? how are schools dealing with cat, i farted? lawyer caught using cat, i farted. it’s incredible.

Why isn't Threads being discussed in terms of antitrust? Bootstrapping on the IG social graph is something FB would never allow anyone else to do. ActivityPub is just window dressing.

Modern frontend makes the web feel geriatric; everything creaks to life, painfully, weighed down by arthritic scripts and a burden of memory. You can *feel* the IE9 support banging around in there.

@deadsuperhero @rnd @drq @ZySoua @cwebber @evan @Gargron I have been largely keeping out of the debate about #fediverse “governance”. As someone who has participated in OSS governance systems I see the value of them and I do think a #fediverse foundation could be a good idea. More importantly I think now that the overall #activitypub system is being used so much more there will be a need to revise and extend the protocol and for that we will need @w3c activity (workshop / working group).

Don't suffer joyless meetings. Fix them by honestly saying what you mean and actively listening to what others say.

@torgo as I read @robin ‘s note just now (generally about the TAG and focusing too much on blurry labels), I found myself nodding in agreement a lot. I hope they avoid getting sucked into another such argument, as that can all too easily become just another useless flame war.
differentiating between the original static Web and the dynamic/interactive Web made sense to the average bear. I hope the next differentiation(s) do too.
